Advocacy
ACOG District II staff works closely with the Governor, legislative offices, and state agencies to ensure obstetrician-gynecologists have the resources they need to provide high quality care as they manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
ACOG District II has:
- Provided testimony on the effects of COVID-19 on minority communities
- Worked to elevate PPE and testing shortages across the state and advocated that resources be equitably distributed to labor and delivery units across the state.
- Highlighted the physician voice in the early days of the pandemic to elevate the need for liability protections for providers at the front line of this unprecedented health crisis.
- Worked with liability insurance carriers to find solutions for physicians facing financial strain due to changes in practice.
- Advocated for the continued recognition of reproductive health care as essential, including abortion services and gynecological surgeries to address acute complications.
- Represented the ob-gyn voice in the state's Maternity Taskforce to provide clinical expertise necessary to respond to this public health crisis.
